Wild Willow Farm & Education Center is a
program of the non-profit San Diego Roots Sustainable Food Project\, whose
mission is to educate\, cultivate and empower sustainable food systems in
San Diego County. Since the farm began in 2010\, WWF’s goal has been to t
each about where food comes from and how to grow it\, both in urban and ru
ral agricultural settings\, using sustainable practices best suited for Sa
n Diego’s unique climate and year-round growing seasons. These conditions
afford our students learning opportunities that exist nowhere else in the
United States.
